Well a little update.
So since i got the car one thing that has annoyed me royally has been the interior.

The MFD & Heater control surround were very badly painted in blue, and the tweeter covers in a glossy black, along with the lower door cards being badly painted blue also.

Since i have an opel grille it also made no sense to have a Vauxhall steering wheel badge.

So got some wet & dry (assorted), Plastic primer, tin of arden blue & some laquer & got set in about inteior plastics.

Also seen an irmscher steering wheel badge, bit different.


Anyway pics (only one pic of interior plastics as its the only part thats 100% done & fitted) -

Thanks, the extra 20mm made a difference.

My 90mm rears arrived today courtesy of Fazza, so hopefully it'll stay dry tomoro and the top nuts on my shockers wont be seized.

Nice - wasn't aware you could get the heating element to work in a B - is it fairly easy to wire up?

Car looks good - I don't like the bonnet, but never have liked them, other than that, it looks good

You spraying the lower door cards white? Sure I spy them in the pic of the cesaros being sprayed white!
